Re: Something new from Krieghoff -a .458 slide action
|
Quote:
To operate, the entire barrel in-line
assembly is simply pushed forward,
which unlocks the gun and frees the
chamber for the next cartridge from
the magazine.
Pulling back the entire barrel in-line
assembly feeds the next round from the
magazine, closes and locks the rifle for
immediate firing.
You are now ready for quick follow up
shots. The design of the in-line system
with its symmetric cocking slide ensures
that the SEMPRIO repeater can be
used by both right and left-handed
shooters.
What a pain in the arse ... needing to move the whole barrel to rack a slide.... some of these modern EU designs are so ridiculous. Whole of barrel pumps, integrated removable triggers and magazines... removable magazines tucked away in difficult to access places inside a slide forend ...
The Verney-Carron designs on the other hand are good. The pump action ie "inline" is a smaller, lighter slide than usual, not the whole forend. And the impact rifl
e is a good alternative if semi autos are not legal.
